The lenger life, I wote the greater sin,
2 The greater sin, the greater punishment:
All those great battels, which thou boasts to win,
4 Through strife, and bloud-shed, and auengement,
Now praysd, hereafter deare thou shalt repent:
6 For life must life, and bloud must bloud repay.
Is not enough thy euill life forespent?
8 For he, that once hath missed the right way,
The further he doth goe, the further he doth stray.
